Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a serious postoperative complication of low-molecular-weight heparin (LWMH) prescribed following surgery and recent evidence based guidelines recommend routine platelet count monitoring for all at-risk patients. With the implementation of these guidelines this clinical study demonstrated a significant improvement (2--56% p
